The MSF medical team bring a weak rescued man back to the clinic on board the Aquarius to be evaluated and treated.
On August 2, 2018 the Aquarius rescued 289 people from two boats in distress. The first rescue was a small overcrowded boat with 17 people. The second boat carried 272 people, including 57 women and 4 small kids, the vast majority from Eritrea. One 19-year-old young man, who came on board with multiple gunshot wounds to the stomach and chest, was quickly transferred to a larger ship so he can be evacuated by helicopter to Malta. Later that evening all the rescued people, along with 8 dead bodies taken on board the night before, were transferred to Save the Children to be disembarked in a place of safety.
